Bryan’s 2017 In Movies

A list of all the films I watched in 2017!

As a host of a movie podcast, you watch a lot of movies. Bare minimum you’re looking at 52 movies for a year, but that’s saying you only watch them for the episodes you’re prepping for, and that’s just dumb. This year I watched a grand total of 225 movies. I count them as watches after I’ve sat thorough at least half the movie, although that only came in to play a few times, particularly at Christmas while flipping through movies on TV. Throughout the whole year, I only quit one movie, that is the lowest that number has ever been for me.

So! Without any further ado… My 2017 in movies, with some short reviews thrown in for fun.

WHAT I WATCHED:

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – (technically the movie started playing in 2016, but I count it because when I walked out it was 2017)

Swiss Army Man

Clerks – First time I had watched this in about 5 years, it surprisingly holds up.

Batman V Superman – The first, but not the last time I will watch this in 2017.

Resident Evil

Hell or High Water

Hidden Figures

Resident Evil 2

My personal fav RE movie.

Resident Evil 3

Underworld Blood Wars

Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 5

Final Fantasy Kingsglave

Silence – After the last 6 movies I watched, this was the greatest thing I had ever seen.

Moon

Resident Evil 6 – This is the most lackluster ending to a franchise ever…

The marketing was better than the movie….

50 Shades of Gray – This sucked.

The Mighty Ducks

D2 The Mighty Ducks

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

Amelie

When Harry Met Sally

Lost in Space

pfff! haha they are all so serious!

Babe

Dirty Dancing

Little Rascals

John Wick

Sing Street – Still the best movie of 2016.

John Wick Chapter 2 – Totally forgot this was a movie.

The Lego Batman Movie

Both fantastic and utterly forgettable

Deadpool

Lost Highway

Finding Dory

Suicide Squad – Don’t remember what compelled me to watch this again, but I know I liked it way move on this viewing, I know it’s crap, but it’s fun crap.

Clueless

Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog – Is this a movie? It’s better than most…

Some Like It Hot

This movie is near perfect.

Newsies (live) – Saw it in a movie theater, I’m counting it.

Doctor Strange

The Legend of Tarzan – God I hope I never see this again.

X-Men Apocalypse

The Legend of Tarzan (again) – Fuck…

Friday the 13th Part 6 : Jason Lives – Better than Tarzan

A Cure for Wellness – Why did we all forget about this movie? It was pretty good!

Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle – How does Jack Black steal a movie from The Rock and Kevin Hart?? I don’t know, but he sure did!

The Mighty Ducks – A fitting way to end the year. Just like this movie I’m young scrappy and hungry!.. For 2018 movies? This joke failed… Also I saw Hamilton.

DONE!!!

What did I learn from this? I like a lot of bad movies, and that’s okay! As the year went on I started to get discouraged about weather or not I’d even share this very embarrassing list, but I think that misses the point of why I did it. What I learned from this is that I love movies. Period. The good and the bad, it is still my favorite way to experience a story. Even the worst of the worst have something in them that is enjoyable. I look forward to how my list looks from 2018, I doubt I’ll have the time to watch 200+ movies again, but it’s worth a shot!
